ttf2pt1 3.3.4 Amiga
-------------------
This is my little Amiga port of ttf2pt1, a Truetype to Postscript font
converter. Contrary to the last available Amiga port, the type 1 assembler
has been compiled into the binary, so I think it's easier to use.
For those who just want to start and don't want to bother with manuals.
For what you'll usually want to do with it, invoke it as:
ttf2pt1 -b <truetype file> [<postscript file>]
which will create all necessary font files. If the postscript file name
is missing, it'll use the truetype file name as a base name.
I've provided a tiny script to help converting an entire directory.
ttf2pt1-conv will convert all files in the current directory ending with
"#?.ttf" to Postscript fonts with #?.pfb and #?.afm files. Optionally,
you can provide a destination path in the command line. Due to the
limitations of the Shell, you must specify a slash (/) after the
directory name, like:
ttf2pt1-conv Postscript/
which will convert all fonts in the current directory and place them in
a subdirectory called Postscript. Perhaps an ARexx script could do it
nicer, but this should suffice for most uses.
For extended usage, well, maybe you really should bother with the docs
then ... :-)
There are versions for 68k and WarpOS.
Enjoy,
